74 acres of old-growth are there in the forest
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the question, we need to calculate the 0.2% of 37,000.We can calculate this stating that exists a linear relationship between the percentage and the number of acres. We also need to state that 37,000 acres are the 100% of the acres.
[tex]=\frac{0.2}{100} \times 37000\\ =0.002 \times 37000\\=74[/tex]
We find that if 37,000 acres are the 100% of the acres ⇒ The 0.2% of the acres are 74 acres (in which there are old-growth trees).
